[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who had very bad PPD and anxiety, including over feeding, please do. (I realize you don’t think your friend has PPD but it sounds like she is anxious about feeding.) She might be defensive but that’s okay…and conversely she might be just waiting for someone to say I see you working so hard and I want you to know it’s okay to stop. The baby will be brilliant no matter what and your peace of mind matters. For me, I needed to hear it from a psychiatrist - I guess like…a medical professional is someone I could trust when they said just stop, nothing bad will happen. So even though she might not have PPD per se, talking to someone might help if she doesn’t seem receptive to your kind and gentle words.[/quote]
I think part of the issue is she works in the medical field and has a lot of opinions based on the hard and fast opinions of her colleagues. I think there may be a little shame there for her because of this if she stops BFing, or some sort of obligation to keep going. [/quote]
